    Just found both Pearl and it still works so i gotta give it some love!!! Anyone else enjoying their Sinnoh journey? What was your starter if so? Mine was Turtwig 😊😊
     
    I haven't played my Pearl in a long time. Partly because it's the file with the one time I ever completed (what was at the time anyway) the entire National Dex and I don't want to lose that, partly because if I wanna play through 4th gen Sinnoh again I can just play the better Platinum version.
     
    There not my favourite games out of the series but i needed a break from HG. Forgot how annoying it can be 🙄
     
    Oh i get you i was the same. The only full dex ive done was on ORAS……until my ex house mate sold aload of my stuff while i was going to work
     
    I play these games from time to time, most recently Platinum. Here were my starters if I remember right (seeing as it was almost 15 years ago):

    Pearl: Chimchar
    Diamond: Piplup
    Platinum: Chimchar... sorry Turtwig lovers! I did eventually raise a Turtwig traded over, though.
     
    I am playing Platinum never restarted it since 2009 purely for the Contests and Sinnoh Champion Ribbon

    I recently did a Team Galactic playthrough of Diamond and that was so much fun
     
    I haven't played my Pearl in a couple of years at least but I am in the middle of my Platinum playthrough right now. Wanted to have the real Sinnoh experience again after the mess those remakes were and I also wanted to get another level 1 Regigigas for my HOME collection before Bank shuts down next year and transferring up from these games becomes impossible. I just got my 5th badge from Wake today and I have my full team already but some members still need to evolve into their final forms for the team to truly be complete, right now I have Torterra, Golduck, Ponyta, Rotom, Porygon2 and Charap the Chatot from the in-game trade.

    For your other question my first (and still favorite) Sinnoh starter was Turtwig but I never completed that first playthrough though (got to 4th badge maybe if I remember correctly but it was a long time ago so I might be wrong), the first time I actually fully completed my Pokemon Pearl playthrough my starter was Chimchar.
     
    I didn't play original Diamond/Pearl when they were first released in 2007, as I was much more into the Mario Bros. games at the time (I played a lot of Mario Kart Double Dash and various Mario Party GameCube games - I didn't have a Wii until later).

    I bought a used copy of Diamond years later in 2015, and fell in love with the mining minigame in the Sinnoh Underground. Earlier this year I exchanged it for Pearl, because I like the Pearl version exclusives better (especially Spheal's line on Route 230 in postgame).

    I prefer Hoenn's contests to Sinnoh's contests, though, and I'm not planning to play BDSP anytime soon.
     
    Hi, this is my first time on The PokeCommunity and i just decided to start here. So if this is not too soon i've been kinda stuck in victory road in pokemon platinum, would be glad if anyone could help me. Dax out! (Sorry i really wanted to say that)
     
    Thanks, i dont know how to put but i'll just say that i'm lost. Every where i go i cant seem to find an exit. I see som boulders i can use Strength on and some ramp like ledges, i triend moving the boulders towards them but doesn't work !

    Yeah I kinda remember Sinnoh's Vcitory road being a little hard to navigate the last the time I went through it. This link here has images for the each room of the thing (you can also click on each to get a bigger version of each): https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Victory_Road_(Sinnoh)#Layout

    so maybe that will help you find your way out
     
    Thanks alot, those images really helped me and now after soooo.. long, i'm at the Pokemon League. I guess i just needed to ask for help afterall. Dax out!!
